For each set, disc one is DVD-9 (single side, dual layer) with artwork, and disc two is double-sided as follows:
Wolf Man set: both sides single layer
Frankenstein set and Dracula set: both sides dual layer
Here's a comparison of the crucifix from Bride of Frankenstein.
I'm currently working on the comparison pages and will post again when they're ready. Most of the discs look identical; Bride is very obviously improved. At first glance, Dracula looks a tiny bit worse.

Be that as it may, I don't see this new transfer as so radically different, except for the contrast which really had to be toned down in the Original.

Grain seems far less noticeable on the new release of Bride.
Incidentally, titles on the new version are generously windowboxed, unlike the original release which was full screen.
